Description: | Copper alloy bead or decorative fitting of uncertain date possibly Late Iron Age or RomanThe bead is complete and is of globular form (with an external diameter of 23.1mm -24.4mm and a weight of 27.9g), with gently convex faces producing an oval section (with a thickness of 11.8mm). The sub-circular perforation (4.0mm - 4.9mm) is not central and is cast into the bead, rather than drilled. Both faces are decorated around the perforation; one side has an incised border, in which are incised radiating lines. The other face has an incised border, which is misplaced to produce a crescent. The surface has a dark green-grey patina with some pitting. There is extensive iron corrosion adhering to the edge around approximately half the periphery.
